HOPELAND & WELLS OF HOPE SCHOOLS

The Hopeland School campus started in 2014 under Celebration Tabernacle Church based in Biafra, one of the biggest slum areas in Mbarara. Hopeland is a non-profit school that seeks to educate orphans, street kids, and needy children in and around our communities. There are 200 students. Wells of Hope School in Rwakobo village, inside the Lake Mburo National Park, was started in the spring of 2019. The school currently has 230 students and has had to turn more away due to a lack of facilities. Ten Eighteen provides monthly food support for these schools and built an ecobrick 10,000-liter water tank at Wells of Hope. We also fundraise to help with infrastructure support as needed.
